SENIOR SCHOOL
What
means to me
Day Boys
Gabriel: 3G means to be the
best you can be whether it’s on
the sports field, in the classroom
or on the street it doesn’t
matter. 3G is about representing
Guildford. 3G is about showing
the community how Guildford
Grammar School students act
even when they’re not at school.
To me this means working as hard
as I can when doing sports, even
when I know I’m no good at that
sport. It’s about picking up that
assignment that you really don’t
Gabriel Boyd (8He)
want to do and completing it, and
it’s about helping that old lady with her groceries even if you have to
give up some of your time. This is what 3G is about.
Liam Guthrie (8St)
Liam: To be 3G you’ve got to
be Hard, Professional and
United. To be these three things
you’ve got to care and be nice
to others, including your friends,
mates, fellow class mates, staff
and teachers. You’ve got to
also be focused on your school
work, which means handing in
assessments and homework on
time. When you are playing sport
it is the same, you don’t talk back
to the umpire or swear at the
opposing side, instead you always
give your best to every hit, throw,
pass, and contest.
Tim: Being 3G means following
and aspiring to the School values.
It means always doing the right
thing to the best of your ability,
whatever the circumstances. 3G
is being Hard, Professional
and United, all at the same
time. To be 3G is to try your
hardest, whilst being professional
and remaining united, be it in
academics, sport or break-times.
To me 3G means not slacking off,
in any respect, during class, sport,
break-times or with homework.
Tim McLean (8Be)
To me 3G means doing good,
positive things, ruling out anything that may have a negative effect,
even when being pressured by others or when you’re feeling tired.
3G means doing the right thing wherever, whenever, with whomever.

Tyler: To be 3G means working
together as a team, giving it our
all and being skilled at what we
do. United, Hard, Professional
now relates to every facet of
life within our school. From
our classrooms to the sporting
field and outward to the wider
community, entrenching ourselves
in 3G gives us a moral base with
which to live our life.
For me Guildford Grammar
School’s 3G program and our
Tyler Campbell (9Be)
Core Values go hand in hand.
Don’t just learn these words,
study and live them, for each and every one of us is part of this team.
Our responsibility is to continue on the tradition of humility and
compassion. Help each other when we stumble, provide support to
one another and understand your team; gain strength from each of
life’s lessons. Regardless of the obstacle, united we can and will Go
Forward and follow in the footsteps of Guildford’s past generations
to achieve excellence in all our endeavours.
What it means to be 3G in Boarding
The boarders have developed their own 3G model – Proud to be
a boarder – along with a new Boarding Purpose and set of agreed
behaviours. The Boarding Purpose is “To provide a home away from
home, giving boys the opportunity of a first class education while
building strong relationships and learning lifelong values.”
We asked some of our junior boarders to tell us what 3G boarding
means to them.
Mason: Being 3G in boarding
at Guildford Grammar School is
to be a “good bloke”. To be a
good bloke means that you’re
respectful, you show unity
with your fellow boarders (who
are basically your older and
younger brothers) and to show
enjoyment whilst doing this.
These are the three pillars that
make us true 3G boarders. There
are plenty of boys who display
the 3G motto and attitudes and
this is a positive step for the
Mason Sullivan (9Fr)
boarding community. I am proud
to be living with these boys, my brothers, as they are improving the
image of boarding throughout the School and wider community,
which is a bonus for everyone. Being a 3G boarder is something
that boosts the whole community inside and outside of the school
grounds and I feel that living by these s
